Many years ago, flying to another place sounded impossible. In fact,science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science
Sleeping Beauty
Could anyone sleep for 100 years Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don′t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans,Sleeping Beauty might be born.
Talking to animals In the real world, talking to animals isn′t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours′ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future.
Super strength In fairy stories, lucky ones found magic food to get power.But it′s a pity that scientists haven′t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons(机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That′s pretty super.
Invisible coat(隐形衣) Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen.

Do you know dolphins and believe they are among the smartest animals

Like other dolphins, they breathe air through the blowholes on top of their heads from the water surface.They also give birth to babies and feed their babies milk.
Dolphins can communicate through whistles(哨音) and even call each other, using special names formed by different series of whistles. Noises also help them find food. Dolphins make up to 1,000 clicking noises per second. These clicks travel underwater until they hit an object and return to the dolphin, showing the object′s size, shape and location.

Food waste is not just a problem at the dinner table, but a big problem all over the world. Serious losses of food, happen from farmers′ fields to customers′ fridges. What′ s worse, pollution and natural disasters may cause food shortage.
In developing countries, forty percent of food waste happens during harvesting and processing (加工) . Because of this, farmers making little money are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They are also short of rapid transportation and refrigeration (冷藏) , so a large number of crops may go bad before they reach the market. Few farmers can afford industrial-sized fridges to keep their products in good conditions.
Food waste is also discovered in developed countries. More than forty percent of food waste happens during the process of selling and buying.Shockingly, this amount reaches near the yearly food production in some part of Africa. In many cases, the vegetables and fruit are thrown away because they look“ugly”, falling short of industry standards.
Polluting and destroying environment do harm to producing food. Afew countries are reducing natural areas for growing food crops and raising livestock (牲畜). Most surprisingly, in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, 800 million trees in the past six years have been cut down to make beef cattle farms. Also, fish farms still create a great deal of pollution as well as diseases. At present, it seems that food production doesn′t reduce, but it may influence all the living things on the earth in the future.
Natural disasters like droughts and storms can destroy a whole year′ s crop for an unlucky farmer. Climate change will make such events that were previously thought of as“once in a hundred years” happen more and more often. This means that we′ ll need more resources to produce the same amount of food.
Food waste is harmful to humans, as well as other life on the earth. It′s not only the problem on customers′ dinner table, but also an international problem that must be dealt with by the governments.
Food problems · Food is lost 56 from fields to fridges. · Food shortage is caused by pollution and natural disasters.
57 of food waste in Different countries * In developing countries · Some farmers are 58 all the time because of the food waste. · Crops may go bad because they can′t be transported 59 . · Products can′t be kept in good conditions because of the limited refrigeration.
* In developed countries · In the process of selling and buying, 60 .40% of food waste happens. The amount is almost the food production in some part ofAfrica in a year. · People throw the vegetables and fruit away 61 they look nice and meet standards.
Bad 62 on producing food * Polluting and destroying environment · Some natural areas are 63 to grow food crops and raise livestock. · Pollution, as well as diseases, is created by fish farms.
* Natural disasters ·A whole year′s crop can be destroyed by natural disasters. · Natural disasters happen more often, not“once in a 64 ” in the past. · More resources are needed to produce the same amount of food.

六、书面表达(共1 题；满分15分)
Possible version 1
During the past three years′ school life,I have so many good memories.I remember that we had a party in our classroom when I was in GradeNine. It was really unforgettable.
On that day, all of us wore a smile on our face. Everyone helped arrange the desks to make a stage for our shows and games. Iperformed a dance. Unluckily, my leg hit a desk by accident and it really hurt. At that time,I did really hope that we could have a larger stage.
Reflecting on that day,I realize our school experience could have been better with improved facilities. For example, we might feel more comfortable if we had better air conditioners. We might play more games and the computer worked more smoothly. Besides, we might feel happier if our teachers could give us a performance.
In general, I think it′s better to have fewer students in each class and Iadvise our school to provide better air conditioners and newer computers.
Possible version 2
During the past three years′ school life,I have so many good memories.I remember that when I was in Grade Eight,I took part in a singing competition in the school hall. The stage is small. The students on the sides were standing nervously as if someone might fall off. Though we
won the first prize, the small stage wasn′t a good memory. I suggest that our school should repair or rebuild the hall, especially the stage.Last winter, I took part in a running race. All my classmates came to cheer me up. I was deeply moved. However, the playground is too small,and I bumped into several students while running. I hope our school can make the playground big and prepare some seats for students. Ihope my suggestions are worth taking. And I also hope our school will be better and better.
